Sunway University College was formed with the belief and understanding that higher education is vital to the progress of the Nation. The predecessor institution, known as Sunway College then, received an auspicious start in 1987 when it was officially opened by the late Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Alhaj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah Alhaj Sultan of Selangor Darul Ehsan. Within a short span of time, Sunway student numbers outgrew the original premises, eventually leading to the opening of new campus.
Sunway University College is one of largest modern private institutions in
Malaysia. The College occupy 22 acres of prime land in Bandar Sunway
Petaling Jaya. This RM 120 million campus is fully equipped with academic,
hostel and sports facilities.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held on March 9, 1991 and in December 1992,
the institution moved to its new campus complete with modern academic and
residential facilities. By January 1993, all academic sessions were
conducted here, The grandest moment in the history of Sunway University
College came on April 29, 1993 when the new campus was officially opened by
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia. It represents a
major investment by the Sunway Group towards education.
That moment declared the aspirations of Sunway University College to become
a world-class institution and a leader in private education in Malaysia and
the ASEAN region, in line with the Prime Minister's vision that Malaysia
should become a centre for academic excellence.
Sunway University College has built a fine reputation and proud tradition of
excellence and leadership. Yet never to rest on its laurels, the institution
continues in its progress towards excellence.
The institution's Founder and Chairman of the Sunway Group, Ybhg Tan Sri Dato' Seri Dr. Jeffery Cheah has placed Sunway University College into a Trust in 1997, under the eminent chairmanship of YABhg Tun Omar Ong Yoke Lin. This auspicious occasion was witnessed by YB Dato' Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak. the Minister of Education then. Such is the commitment of Sunway University College, Malaysia's Premier Private University College.

upgraded to a degree-awarding university, fully approved by the Education
Ministry in August 2004.
Sunway University College was conferred University College status by the
Ministry of Higher Education on 12 August 2004. The approval letter was
presented by the then Higher Education Minister YB Dato’ Dr Shafie bin Haji

National Patriotic Day celebrations at Sunway University College.
Tan Sri Dato’ Seri (Dr) Jeffrey Cheah Fook Ling was officially installed as
the University’s Foundation Chancellor on 19 September 2006 in the presence
of His Royal Highness Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah
AlHaj.
Founded by Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah in 1987, Sunway College was the first
private college to answer Government’s call to the private sector to assist
in providing tertiary education opportunities.
The College is one of the pioneers in twinning with universities in
Australia, Britain and America. Some of its students have gone on to do
better than their foreign counterparts in their final university
examinations.
Sunway College has also successfully partnered with Monash University to
operate the first branch campus of a foreign University in Malaysia, this
being Monash University Malaysia. At present, Monash University Malaysia has
an enrolment of over 2,500 students.
Sunway University College has developed into a well established educational
institution that offers a very high standard of education to Malaysian and
international students with eminent scholars to teach the undergraduates and
also to undertake high-quality research and development.
In 1997, Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah placed Sunway College in a trust administered
by a Board of Trustees headed by Tun Haji Omar Yoke- Lin Ong. The College
has since awarded more than RM20 million in scholarships to over 1,000
Malaysian students. In 2003, the Sunway College Trust, which owns 100% of
Sunway College and 76% of Monash University Malaysia, earned fees in excess
of RM120 million.
